Too much info! >Translation: I don't understand... (scurries off to hard-code >the dsn names in his cfc's...) Panic not! Bottom line: you've run into the "issue" of hitting a component directly over http - the component is instantiated every time you hit it and so the instance can't be persisted in your application/server scope, etc. I.e. if you could, you might do something like this in ColdFusion: <cfset application.myComponentInstance = createObject('component', 'myCfc').init(dsn) /> Two solutions: 1. Use a proxy cfc. Looks like Ray has written a blogpost taylored for you: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2008/1/22/Ask-a-Jedi-AjaxProxy-and-A pplication-Scoped-CFCs 2. Use your cf app's framework as the proxy - i.e. handle it like any other request and spit out the result in a format your js is expecting.
